I’ve just come in from shoveling the snow, about 4″ deep, in front of my garage; an area of about 25ft X 15ft. By doing so, at the tender age of 65, I have discovered a couple of things. First, at this point in my life, I should do a little stretching first and Second, I might have turned into an ‘environmental wacko’. I had driven out of the garage and back again, so it left tire tracks which then froze. When I shoveled it was hard to get that up. So I thought I would throw some salt on it to make it easier to get off. Then I thought, why not get out the ice scraper to get the hard pack up and shovel it off; that would be some more good exercise and also it would be less harmful to the environment. Am I a great guy or what? Then I went into the house and had a nice hot cup of coffee, hoping that feeling would go away.
Actually that is a good thing to do. ‘Kyoto’ is a bad thing to do.
